Leadership in the age of remote work

COVID-19 has challenged conventional ways of working for individuals and teams around the globe. Organizations have swiftly and successfully embraced remote work with very little preparation.  For instance, until early this year, nearly everyone on my team worked from the office. Working from home was an available but infrequently leveraged choice. The lockdown changed all that. People travelled to their home towns in remote locations, preferring to stay with families during the crisis. Many, for the first time, experienced an extended period of working from home.
